They were a lot higher.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tulsi Gabbard cited the February Report during the debate, and despite Harris\u2019 campaign claiming it as false, journalists at the SF Chronicle chose to look into it. What they found was that Harris\u2019 conviction rate for marijuana offenses was over 25% higher than previously expected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joe Garofoli, a writer for the Chronicle, said &#8220;The [<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Free Beacon<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> article] cited statistics from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation that said \u2018at least 1,560 people were sent to state prisons for marijuana-related offenses between 2011 and 2016&#8242; during the time Harris was the state AG,&#8221; also mentioning that \u201cOn Thursday, a department spokesman told the<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Chronicle<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that 1,974 people were admitted for hashish and marijuana convictions during that period.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As of right now, the current, revised number for marijuana convictions by Kamala Harris is 1,974, but according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/correction-kamala-locked-up-more-people-for-weed-than-we-thought\/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&amp;utm_campaign=ffce324701-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_08_02_07_30_COPY_221&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-ffce324701-45573117\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Free Beacon<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the number might be even higher. \u201c&#8230;The revised total from the state is likely an undercount. Under California&#8217;s public safety realignment initiative, many low-level, non-violent drug offenders would have been rerouted to state jails. This means that while they may have been prosecuted, they would not appear in state prison admissions totals.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This just seems to be one more nail in the coffin for Kamala Harris\u2019 campaign. Her admitting to smoking Marijuana while also being responsible for 1,964+ convictions for it has not gone over well with voters. Add this on top of her dishonesty when she claimed the February Report was fake and it seems clear why she\u2019s only at 7%. Maybe she should start thinking about being VP for Biden. Her lies combined with his forgetfulness would make a dangerous duo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Photo by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@bill_oxford?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Bill Oxford<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kamala Harris can not seem to catch a break.
